I dragged the dish out into the back yard, I live a in the woods and is clearest area I have unless I hook it to a pine tree!

set it up in 10 minutes and was on the net. Let it do it's thing over night got close to 1/2 gig download today.

Boss lady says if we take it on the road, I could loose my spot at the main house. Going trying and see!

You might want to follow this thread over on IRV2- https://www.irv2.com/forums/f53/star...se-512812.html

600+ posts so far and 3-4 added each day. This should answer almost any question about Starlink.

That bag of topsoil might blow off at highway speeds. Might wanna run a couple straps of duct tape across it.

I don't need 450Mbps down speeds. Definitely not for $110 a month.

To VPN on the road if I want to remote work, 15Mbps down, 1.5Mbps up is more than enough

I think a lot of us don’t have the need for high speed internet camping

T-mobile sounds like a great fit for the majority and budget friendly

Cool that is available

I started with the large Hughes satellite years back for work so quite a change

Did Starlink change the rules? They're allowing you to take your dish on the road?

WeBoost allowed me to remote work in coastal areas that I couldn't have without it.
